Bentivolio

The Republican base is restive. They're also dumber than a pile of dog poop. In a recent poll, half the participants were asked if they support Obamacare and the other half if they support the Affordable Care Act.

"Benghazi" is a Republican Party cudgel, albeit a flimsy one, to use as an anti-Hillary weapon in 2016. Normal people don't pay it much heed but it motivates the far right conspiracy theory fringe who get the bulk of their information from Hate Talk Radio and Fox.

Once upon a time over in GOPWorld, you were a chicken if you weren't willing to vote to shut down the government the way the crackpots and nihilist Hate Talk Radio-inspired zombies who pass for the Republican base were demanding. But that is sooooo the day before yesterday...

The BRAVO! TV show about Steve Israel's constituents and psyche, Princesses: Long Island, has no sympathetic characters. Every single one of them is vomit-inducing.

Kerry Bentivolio (R-MI) is one freshman who has not been embraced by the GOP House Establishment. The very strange Tea Party activist is very much an accidental congressman, who slipped into office when long-time GOP incumbent, Thaddeus McCotter, resigned as part of a deal to keep him out of prison for election fraud. Bentivolio has a typical GOP voting record (a ProgressivePunch score of 6.73) and hasn't done anything to distinguish himself since being elected last year.
